The CeMAT trade show, the world’s biggest and leading show for intralogistics held from May 2-6, 2011 in Hannover, is the ideal showcase for the range of new products from BITO-Lagertechnik Bittmann GmbH, a leading storage specialist headquartered in Meisenheim, Germany.

The innovative product range features an entirely new series of heavy duty containers from polypropylene. The 800x600 mm container for load capacities of up to 500 kg opens up new possibilities in production, storage and transport logistics. The most obvious advantage is that the own weight of this hardwearing allrounder for very heavy duties of up to 500 kg is much lower than the weight of same size mesh box pallets or steel sheet containers, making the new SL86 the ideal container to fulfill lean production requirements. The excellent rigidity allows high stacking loads of up to 1500 kg for dynamic use and 1000 kg for static use.

With their PROmotion system, BITO have designed an ingenious enhancement to further increase the efficiency of their static pallet racking system PRO. The PROmotion shuttle is a battery operated and remote-controlled lane vehicle to facilitate pallet handling and transport within a pallet racking installation. Moving unassisted on specially designed guide rails without connection to another carrier vehicle, the shuttle provides continuous in- and outfeeding and assumes stock control functions.
